On the one hand you say educating is not your job, on the other hand you are very concerned about misinformation -- which is a matter of education.

You thus contradict yourself for purely rhetorical reasons.

Worse yet, saying "you are wrong" is not correcting misinformation for the sake of onlookers. You need to tell them why -- which you failed to do.

I don't think you interpret English very well, and certainly you don't explain well, so it's impossible to see whether this is an area of physics you actually know or not.

So far, I am doubting that you understand this area well enough to correct others. All I see so far are two beside-the-point nitpicks.

Explain physics or stop kvetching. If it's not your job to explain, then it's unhelpful to say "you're wrong but it's not my job to explain!" Fish or cut bait.



Spreading wrong information is basically graffiti. Correcting it has little to do with education, it's simply aesthetically displeasing.


So is saying "you are wrong" and nothing else. Particularly since I'm not wrong, although some phrasings are imperfect.
